With Breeze's feet mended, we fancied a bit of a walk on the spur of the moment, but it needs to be gentle on her pads as they still need to harden. We know the Caldbeck fells like the back of our hands these days, so they were the obvious choice. Mainly grassy and we can just follow our noses.
So we set off over the Rospow hills, one of the first places Breeze ever encountered on her Fell walking career, and headed up the slopes of Carrock Fell

| A Spaniel Smile. We headed over Miton Hill and had just decided to make our way over High Pike when the heavens opened, so we changed our minds and made our way down Red Gate lonnin instead. Just to be on the safe side, Breeze wore her boots for the stoney track (not that she spent much time on the track). |

| Carrock Beck, below Quaker Hill. Nearly back at the car and the weather is improving (not for long so we had made the right choice!) |
Just about 5 miles, but more or less dry and with four paws intact. A nice little walk, even if it was shorter than normal.
